52 {C}CT May Colour Challenge

Here we are again, friends! Time for another 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown. It's the second challenge of the month and we are focussing on Colour. Our lovely hostess Ruth of Flower Sparkle has chosen five contemporary colours. You don't have to use all of them on your project, you can if you want to, but you must use at least three colours.

After last week's traditional vintage style card, I decided to go for something more modern and CAS. Much to my own surprise, I actually managed to use all five colours!

Now it's your turn to create a festive card based on this week's challenge: Colour Combo. In order to be considered for Top Honour and Honourable Mentions, your new card must follow the challenge sketch and you must link it to the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown Challenge Blog by 6pm GMT / 1pm EST on Friday, 16th May. And here's the most important rule: Have Fun!

Rosie's news: Regular readers will know that Rosie has not been feeling well of late. She went in for a CT scan yesterday and there it is: another mass in her inner ear! We're talking to the surgeon and her oncologist about treatment options... most likely to be as before: surgery followed by chemo. Almost a year after the completion of her last chemo and we're doing the same dance again. Cancer is a dreaded thing... it never leaves you alone! Thank you for all for your kind wishes, love and cuddles for Rosie. I'll leave you with a photo of my brave little soldier.

Love the modern take you have designed makes a refreshing change...thank you for sharing with us over at Completely Christmas, hope to see you again next week for another fab challenge....HugsSuzy B Owner Completely ChristmasXX

Beautiful card and love the background and all the colours are there! Oh I am sorry about Rosie but she seems like a strong girl and she has loving parents. I hope this is not as severe as the last one. I shall say some prayers

Great minds think alike as we both used wreaths this week, but so differently, love great hand stamped paper and the colouring, fab design too. Sorry to hear the news about Rosie, we love them so much it's hard when they get ill. wishing her a full recovery

Love your Christmas card with those wreaths! Such pretty color and wonderful stitching! I'm so sorry to hear about your Rosie! Our pets mean the world to us. We have a German Shepherd. I'll be keeping your family and Rosie in my thoughts and prayers!
